Moving from the UAE to State of Palestine
In short
We do not quote State of Palestine as a standard service. Access is controlled through Israeli or Jordanian crossings, which governs what can move and when. Tell us what you need to move and we will run a compliance check with our freight forwarders and give you a straight answer — a route that genuinely works with the conditions written down, or a clear no.

What is different about moving to State of Palestine?
Access is controlled through Israeli or Jordanian crossings, which governs what can move and when. Ashdod is the usual discharge port, with onward movement subject to permit.
Why we will not simply quote State of Palestine
Gaza and the West Bank have materially different access conditions and are assessed separately. We do not quote this destination from a price list. Tell us what you need to move and we will run a compliance check with our freight forwarders and come back with either a route that genuinely works, with the conditions written down, or a clear no. A shipment refused mid-route leaves your belongings somewhere neither of us controls.
Documents you need
- Compliance review — Completed before anything else. Sanctions, carrier and insurer position are checked first.
- Passport copy — Photo page, plus the UAE residence visa and exit stamp.
- Itemised and valued packing list — The document customs actually reads. We produce it as the goods are packed.
Shipping a vehicle
Vehicle export to State of Palestine is not something we can quote as a normal service. The UAE export certificate and deregistration would apply as they do anywhere, but whether the vehicle can lawfully and practically reach State of Palestine depends on the current sanctions and carrier position, which we check case by case.
Taking pets
Pet relocation to State of Palestine is assessed case by case alongside the wider compliance review. Airline willingness to carry live animals on these routes changes frequently and is the usual constraint rather than the veterinary paperwork.
Restricted and prohibited items
- Effectively the entire consignment is subject to review before anything is packed
- Flammable liquids, gas cylinders, aerosols and paint
- Fireworks, ammunition and explosives
- Narcotics and controlled substances
- Endangered species products (CITES)
What affects the price
We do not publish a price for State of Palestine because we cannot promise the service. Where a route does exist, the cost is driven by carrier availability and insurance rather than by volume, and it is quoted individually after the compliance check.
Questions about State of Palestine
How do goods reach the West Bank?
Normally through Ashdod with onward movement under permit, or overland via Jordan through the Allenby crossing. Both are subject to controls that determine timing more than the shipping does.
Is Gaza different from the West Bank?
Very. Access conditions differ materially and are assessed separately. Tell us the specific destination at the outset so we can check the current position rather than generalise.
What are my alternatives if the move is not possible?
Storage in Dubai until conditions change is the most common answer, billed on the cubic metres you actually occupy rather than a fixed unit size. Shipping to a third country where you have family is sometimes viable. We will tell you which applies rather than leaving you to guess.
Will you take the booking and try anyway?
No. A shipment refused mid-route leaves your belongings stranded somewhere neither of us controls, and insurance will not respond. We either find a route that genuinely works and write the conditions down, or we tell you plainly that it cannot be done.
Customs, vehicle and pet import rules change, and transit bands are corridor averages rather than promises. We confirm what applies to your shipment in writing before booking.
